Hi. My name's Heddi. I'm the big cheese founder of Travel Gift Card, mytab.co. It's a .co, not a .com, a .co. And this is my best friend, Muppet Bundle Cundle. Today we're talking about how to be able to promote yourself over if you are a virtual assistant. Like if you're marketing yourself, how do you do this. Most people actually like the whole idea of having a virtual assistant. I've done it before. It's absolutely totally fine. It's very very easy to do. But you need to be trustworthy, you need to be honest and you need to communicate. I'm going to give you a few tips down here now of how to do it and how to corroborate. OK. You need to be organized and you've got to prioritize everything. You need to be the eyes and ears of your boss, and you need to be one step ahead of ideas because you're working remotely. Your boss needs to trust you. Remember this. So don't just sit there like a complete lump just doing the basics of what they ask. Because it looks like you're not even being conscientious. Would you do that in an office? Of course you wouldn't. So don't be a loser at home. Even if you attend events separately and update your superior afterwards, you need to do this. It would be the same job that you would normally do if you walk into an office. Voice your opinions, do additional research to back up your claim. Show facts to your boss. Again be proactive. Sign up to email services, magazines, newspapers, trade stuff, that kind of stuff so you know what's going on. You would do it in the office, you do it at home. Plan ahead of time with calendars of potential events. Suggest them to your boss. Share them on Cloud like Google documents, like Google Drive. Keep on the ball. Insure your communication skills are strong. Be on whatapp which is an app, an amazing app, I am, on Skype, shared Cloud documents and email. Always be available. Your boss needs to know and trust you that you will be there, since you're going to be working remotely and you're not working from the office. So you still need to use the same initiative. See the benefits of being a virtual assistant is absolutely fantastic because you get to wear pajamas all day long. Actually I'm going to have a company called Pajamas one day where we're going to have basically it looks like the top of a suit so when you're Skyping your boss spontaneously, it looks like you're actually wearing a suit and not pajamas. Very simple and now it's been recorded and documented. So when you're talking about being a virtual assistant you've got to have something very very simple. You've got to have the trust, the integrity, honesty. You have to use the same tenacity, tenacity as you would do if you were in the office. The only difference is you're not around your boss. That's it. So sometimes you need to work a little bit harder from it. On the other hand, yeah you got more flexibility, you can wander off a little bit more it you want to because when your boss needs you for a meeting you've got everything prepped and done. You can wear slippers all day long, did I mention that. Oh yes, because I mentioned with pajamas. This is Muppet Bundle Cundle. My name's Heddi.
